The cause of this explosion,

is very clear. This power level far exceeds the limits of the Desolate Realm, definitely not something Lei Hu could achieve. Not to mention one Lei Hu, even if ten Lei Hu were tied together and detonated, they couldn't produce such an effect, let alone follow the explosion into the Inner World.

The cause of this explosion stemmed from Lei Hu violating the contract with the client, triggering some kind of secrecy mechanism. The other party not only wanted to silence Lei Hu but also intended to silence everyone who might know the secret.

Wu Chang asked Erin with a solemn face, "Can you sense how strong the one responsible for all this is?"

Erin pondered for a moment and said, "The explosion just now was a trap laid out in advance by the others. It's hard for me to determine their exact strength just from this explosion, but roughly speaking, they aren't much weaker than my true divine form."

Erin's words genuinely startled Wu Chang.

You should know, Erin is a genuine god, and an ascended one too, and the culprit of this explosion is obviously the mysterious person who signed the contract with Lei Hu.

A player whose power can match Erin, this god, what level must he be?

Even if he's not a player from the Abyss Third Layer, he's at least one of the top existences in the Abyss Second Layer.

A player who can reach this level, even sitting at the big boss's table during a Countermeasures Bureau gathering, people would still offer him toasts.

And it wouldn't be surprising if Lei Hu's client is brewing some incredible plan, it's impossible for him to act alone.

Thinking of this, Wu Chang began to sweat.

Oh no, did he uncover something he wasn't supposed to? They say when you pull up a radish, you bring up some dirt with it; well, he directly pulled out a radish spirit.

When he first discovered this transaction within the Wandering Spirit's Grudge, he vaguely guessed that the force involved behind it was unusual, he never expected the other party to play this big.

In a daze, he recalled those eyes he saw beyond the Desolate Realm's barrier before.

If he had another chance, he would definitely choose to kill Lei Hu directly, not delve into this conspiracy.

Now he can only hope that Lei Hu's contract breach only triggered the contract's dark thunder, and won't directly relay his last sight to the client.

Otherwise, he's in big trouble.

Forget it, regretting at this point is meaningless, even if the other party really followed the connection to find him in reality, with Erin around, he might not really fear them.

At worst, he'd learn from the painter and stay put in the Desolate Realm, if a mere player can cause the four great forces such a headache, why should they be able to do anything to him?

Putting aside his worries about the client, Wu Chang's attention turned to the cultivation technique obtained from Lei Hu.

Though it caused some trouble, it wasn't entirely fruitless.

"Item Name: Commentary on the Fragment of the Five Thunders Technique"

"Item Effect: When the player's attributes reach Energy: 20; Inspiration: 20; Will: 20, the item can be activated to learn the Commentary on the Fragment of the Five Thunders Technique."

The learning requirements for Lei Hu's Commentary on the Fragment of the Five Thunders Technique are much higher than for the Thunder Skill Fragment, indicating it is of a high grade at a glance.

However, time is tight right now, and there's no room to study this Thunder Technique. He pocketed the cultivation technique and, before the personnel from the Soul Light Sect arrived to investigate, they moved to the lift and headed to the underground first level.

Upon reaching the underground first level, he found he was a step too late. The Miracle Tree in the secret room, along with the Erosion Core that provided it with nutrients, had already been taken away. It seems Fire Master's plan has reached its final stage, ready to conclude.

Using the lingering aura from the Miracle Tree, he closed his eyes to sense, relying on his strong inspiration. He vaguely perceived a large congregation of Wish Power gathering above the Soul Light Cathedral, something was forming.

Wu Chang instructed True Self, Erin, and Han'er to leave first and check out the situation outside the Great Cathedral, while he activated his social phobia and advanced concealment, following a cart transporting bricks and stones from the underground into the core area of the Soul Light Cathedral building.

True Self and the other two, along the way, stealthily left the underground of the Soul Light Cathedral, returning to the surface through a hidden passage, only to find the outside in chaos.

During their time infiltrating the underground, Sirena City District had already fallen under the assault of zombies, and nearly sixty percent of the city was flooded by the red glow of the blood moon.

Even at the entrance of the dark passage leading into the underground of the Soul Light Cathedral, the presence of zombies was everywhere.

How did it come to this?

Nearby, a few ordinary people were fleeing toward the Soul Light Cathedral, with four or five zombies just thirty or forty meters behind them.

Under the influence of the blood moon, the zombies' moving speed was incredibly fast, and within three or four seconds, they had caught up to the ordinary people.

Opening their large mouths, the zombies lunged at the ordinary people below, ready to feast on warm flesh. Unexpectedly, what they bit into was hard and bulky, breaking their rotten teeth.

Why was the texture so strange?

The next moment, it realized the reason, as a massive hammer head was stuffed into its mouth, smashing its decayed head flying into the air.

As its head soared, it saw Erin's stance as she swung the hammer, and couldn't help but shout through its gaping mouth, "Nice shot!"

As a native of Sirena, Han'er moved more quickly than Erin, weaving through the zombies with precision and ferocity, dispatching several of them rapidly.

While True Self used the Soul Cleansing Banner to completely deal with the zombies, Han'er grabbed an ordinary person from the ground, urgently asking, "Tell me, what happened outside!"
